Snow Snow Snow

I thought it appropriate to post my pictures of the Christmas snow storm, right as we are gearing up for another snow storm tonight. As I mentioned in my Christmas post we woke up Christmas morning to find that the power went out in the middle of the night. There was a substation to the west of us that was having problems. I am not sure if it was because of the snow or not. However, they also closed 7800s to the west of us due to the drifting snowing and so many cars sliding off the road. Christmas morning before we left the house on our journey to visit with family I took this picture.

It's hard to see in the picture unless you zoom in, but the snow is coming down sideways. This was because it was so windy. To go clean off the car so we could leave Jon got all bundled up.

When we were coming home on Christmas night we encountered another storm. The next morning/afternoon this is what it looked like.

We didn't drive my car over the holidays and so she got covered in snow and had to be
dug out.

Hopefully the storm coming tonight won't be as bad, but as I am typing this the news just reporting sideways snow falling in Cache Valley.

Festive

I am sure I will get some criticism for this post, but here it goes. Although I am enjoying this snowless weather. I am having a hard time feeling like it's actually Christmas. My internal calendar is all confused because there is no snow on the ground. There have even been several times I have left the house recently without wearing a heavy coat. Shh...don't tell my mom. ;)

I am sure once it snows I will regret that I even missed it in the first place and then I will want to go on vacation to somewhere warm. Those who know me well know that I have a fear of driving in the snow. It's not necessarily the snow that I am afraid of, but rather the other drivers that might run into me.

I guess it's just the magic of snow that I miss, not the actual snow and the trouble that goes along with it. Maybe I should go find myself a snowglobe to shake and get that magical feeling.

Grab a shovel

We had a huge snow storm a week or so ago and I managed to get stuck in my car. I didn't get stuck in the snow, but rather got stuck up in the Millcreek area and soon found that the roads were too slick to drive down the hills. Luckily, Jon and I were going over to his Grandpa's house where Jon's car was at so we were able to take his car. I had to leave my car overnight and this is what we found the next day when we went to retrieve my car.

The treetops glistened

This post is quick and simple. Just a couple of pictures of the trees around my house after Tuesday's storm.
